Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] As an embodiment of this utility model

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a bird bathing tub includes a tub body 1, which is preferably made of transparent, UV-resistant reinforced plastic. A water level line is provided on the inner wall of the tub body 1, allowing the amount of water lost to be clearly seen through the tub body 1, facilitating timely water replenishment. A detachable upper shell assembly 2 is connected to the top of the tub body 1. Specifically, the upper shell assembly 2 is connected to the tub body 1 via a nesting structure.

[0043] The nesting structure is configured as follows: guide sleeves are set around the inner wall of the bathtub body 1 and positioning posts are set around the top of the upper shell assembly 2. The guide sleeves and positioning posts are inserted and matched to form a nesting structure between the upper shell assembly 2 and the bathtub body 1, thereby mutually restraining each other and preventing plastic deformation. In use, the upper shell assembly 2 can be separated from the bathtub body 1 to add water to the bathtub body 1 or for cleaning and maintenance.

[0044] The upper shell assembly 2 includes a photovoltaic panel 21, an upper shell plate 22, and a bathtub cover 23;

[0045] The photovoltaic panel 21 is snapped onto the top surface of the bathtub lid 23;

[0046] The upper shell plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bathtub cover 23, and an integrally formed housing 220 is formed on the upper shell plate 22. A battery pack 221 and an electronic control board 226 are installed inside the housing 220. The electronic control board 226 is configured as a PCB circuit board with an integrated circuit control unit. A photovoltaic panel 21 is connected to the battery pack 221 via wires. When used outdoors, the photovoltaic panel 21 converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the battery pack 221; simultaneously, the photovoltaic panel 21 can also provide a place for birds to perch and bathe. The housing 220 is filled with waterproof adhesive to seal the space between the battery pack 221, the electronic control board 226, and the housing 220 for waterproofing.

[0047] A bracket 222 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper shell plate 22. A submersible pump 223 is installed on the bracket 222. The water outlet end of the submersible pump 223 is connected to a water outlet pipe 225 through a corrugated pipe 224. The water pumping end of the submersible pump 223 is connected to the bottom space of the bathtub body 1 through a filter screen.

[0048] The bathtub cover 23 consists of an arc-shaped flared portion on the outer edge and an annular protrusion integrally formed with the arc-shaped flared portion. A sealing and waterproof structure is provided between the photovoltaic panel 21, the upper shell plate 22 and the annular protrusion. Specifically, the sealing and waterproof structure includes a sealing ring connecting the upper shell plate 22 and the bathtub cover 23 and a sealing ring connecting the photovoltaic panel 21 and the upper shell plate 22, to prevent water from seeping downwards and damaging electronic components.

[0049] A button panel 231 is installed on the annular protrusion of the bathtub cover 23. The button panel 231 consists of a button and a silicone cover. Waterproof glue is poured between the silicone cover and the button. The button panel 231 is connected to the electronic control board 226, the battery pack 221 and the submersible pump 223 through a circuit. When in use, the submersible pump 223 is controlled to open and close through the button panel 231.

[0050] The bathtub cover 23 has overflow holes 232 on both the annular protrusion and the arc-shaped flared part;

[0051] A fountain generator 3 is installed at the top of the water outlet pipe 225 and on the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 21. The fountain generator 3 includes a first generator 31, a second generator 32, and a third generator 33.

[0052] Furthermore, the overflow hole 232 on the annular protrusion is higher than the overflow hole 232 on the arc-shaped flared part, and the overflow holes 232 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bathtub cover 23. Its function is that when the water sprayed by the fountain generator 3 falls between the annular protrusion and the photovoltaic panel 21, as the water level rises and submerges the overflow hole 232, it flows into the arc-shaped flared part through the overflow hole 232, and then flows back into the bathtub body 1 through the overflow hole 232 to achieve water circulation.

[0053] In use: First, select the appropriate installation method according to the installation scenario, such as hanging or placing on the ground. After the bathtub body 1 is securely installed, fill the bathtub body 1 with water up to the water level line. In outdoor environments, the photovoltaic panel 21 receives sunlight and converts the light energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery pack 221 to power the entire electronic system.

[0054] When the fountain function needs to be activated, pressing the button on the control panel 231 sends a signal to the electronic control board 226, which then controls the submersible pump 223 to start. The submersible pump 223 draws water from the bottom of the bathtub body 1 through a filter screen at the pumping end, transports it via a corrugated pipe 224 to an outlet pipe 225, and then from the outlet pipe 225 to the fountain generator 3. After the water sprays from the fountain generator 3, some water falls onto the top surface of the photovoltaic panel 21 and the annular protrusion of the bathtub cover 23. As the water level gradually rises, the water flows through the overflow holes 232 on the annular protrusion and the arc-shaped flared section into the arc-shaped flared section and the bathtub body 1, forming a complete water circulation system. During use, the water level can be observed through the transparent bathtub body 1. When the water level falls below the water level line, water can be added promptly to ensure the normal operation of the submersible pump 223 and meet the drinking and bathing needs of the birds.

[0058] Optionally, it also includes a third generator 33, which includes a third fountain column 331 that is inserted into and cooperates with the water outlet pipe 225. The top of the third fountain column 331 is tightly fitted with a third fountain cover 332. The third fountain cover 332 is connected to a third fountain hole 333 arranged in a ring. Specifically, the third fountain hole 333 is composed of an even number (e.g., four) ring-arranged columnar nozzles.

[0059] In use: Select the appropriate fountain generator 3 and connect it to the water outlet pipe 225 according to the bird attraction needs or usage scenario. For a diffused fountain effect, select the first generator 31; water will spray from the annularly distributed first fountain holes 313 of the first fountain cover 312, forming a uniform diffused water flow. For a concentrated columnar fountain effect, select the second generator 32; water will spray from the second fountain hole 323 in the center of the second fountain cover 322, forming a stable columnar water flow under the influence of the funnel-shaped section. For a ring-shaped fountain effect, select the third generator 33; water will spray from the annularly distributed third fountain holes 333 of the third fountain cover 332, forming a surrounding ring-shaped water flow. When changing the fountain type or cleaning the fountain generator 3, simply detach the fountain covers 312 / 322 / 332 from the fountain columns 311 / 321 / 331, clean them, and then reattach them. The operation is simple. Different fountain effects can continuously attract bird attention and increase the frequency of bird use.
